Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is one of the most important facial texture features in face recognition. In this paper, a novel approach based on the LBP is proposed for face recognition under different illumination conditions. The proposed approach applies Difference of Gaussian (DoG) filter in the logarithm domain of face images. LBPs are extracted from the filtered images and used for recognition. A novel measurement is also proposed to calculate distances between different LBPs. The experimental results on the Yale B and Extended Yale B prove superior performances of the proposed method and measurement compared to other existing methods and measurements.
